Their musicianship is off the charts. I’m jealous you are getting to experience this for the first time. They are the best ever.
Anyone else feel a bit disappointed that Dazed And Confused
didn't start playing immediately after the final chord of You Shook Me?
I read once that if you did a poll to vote for the top rock musicians to make up a super group you’d get
Vocals- Robert Plant
Guitar- Jimi Page
Drums- John Bonham
Bass- JPJ
YOU CAUGHT IT!!!!!! I’m not British but I know that a “bird” is a reference for a girl or woman. Most other reactors totally miss this. Obviously you being British caught it right away!!!!
Yes Robert Plant has massive sex appeal. If you want to see him at his swaggiest check out their concert at MSG.
Speaking of "criminal", it's the degree to which nobody talks about this song. To me, it's the most potent and quintessential thing they ever did. Wow.
4 white English guys taking the Blues to the bottom of the piss trough. Unbelievable
Syed….great analysis as usual. You are one of the most intelligent and respectful to the music reactors out there right now IMO. I want to flag something you said because it hit me right between the eyes you said that young people today really don’t care about instruments, or instrumental solos. What that says to me is that young people don’t appreciate the talent or skills of musicians any longer. That also rings true in the sense that people think today that music should be free. You get what you pay for. Record companies will no longer pay to develop the talents of new artists. They just pay tens of millions for older artists catalogues. This makes me incredibly sad.
One of the first things that humans did, and it is a uniquely human thing, was to create instruments to make sound. It is part of our human DNA. Live music has been with us for thousands of years, and now, we have a generation who doesn’t care about about all the beautiful sounds that skilled and dedicated musicians can create. Music was a touchstone of my generation. If was an important part of the tapestry of our youth, woven all through the youth culture. To have it discarded and dismissed as not being of value just depresses the hell out of me.
Helene this is a good point about it being a part of human nature. but, the way I see it, things are cyclical. Its not in vogue to be a instrumental musician at the moment.
But, it will take a few talented people doing it in some new way, to start a trend. If that trend stems and sparks a new genre of music, like how hip hop started, it would catch on. Causing kids to pick up instruments again.
I think we should encourage more kids to play instruments in school too, would delicately help the cause
@@SyedRewinds yes, I agree. Part of the issue, in addition to the fact that music is now ruled by business people, not lovers of music (this was not always the case. Ahmet Ertegun for example, a co-founder and head of Atlantic Records, was passionate about music and about the artists he signed. Led Zeppelin was the first rock group to be signed to Atlantic, and Ertegun cultivated close ties and friendships with artists, including Zep. Now, music is run by beancounters ruled by the bottom line. Music is secondary) is that when schools today have to cut corners, one of the first things sacrificed are the arts. When I was a kid, music was taught in elementary school, and there were always school bands, with instruments provided by the school. Many members of bands from the 60’s and 70’s first were exposed to music in school. From what I understand, this is often no longer the case.and so kids grow up without exposure to instruments and music appreciation.
@@w.geoffreyspaulding6588 correct and well said. The decline of music education and the arts, history, etc., in our public schools, has heavily contributed to the present situation being discussed.
Yours was a superior analysis. I get tired of reactors who just say "aw, cool" but nothing else. You are way beyond that! 🙂
Right!!?! 👍
The play between Plant’s voice and Page’s guitar is amazing and done perfectly in my favorite Dazed and Confused. I’ve been listening to Zepp my entire life and you make me look at something different each time.
Thanks Janice, you're are making me look forward to dazed and confused! I'm not so far from it now
@@SyedRewinds When you do Dazed and Confused I hope you do the live version from the Madison Square Garden concert !
@@SyedRewinds....Dazed and Confused. Out of the billions of different songs out there from when time began, THIS one has always been my absolute favorite - album version AND the many live versions. They're all wonderful.
Led Zeppelin are rock gods! You have a great ear for how they created such wonderful sounds.
Plant’s voice is another instrument. Another guitar.
Led Zeppelin... revealing John Bonzo Bonham to the Universe 🔥
haha Bonzo is a gift to all!
Just wait until you get to “Since I’ve Been Loving You” live at MSG. Initially a blues based rock band, they’ve got their share of blues but they evolved from blues covers to various genres of international influences you will not be able to pinpoint.
It's bad ass!
You looked a bit shook yourself after this song. Well, get ready to be dazed and confused... in an awesome way.
Love when Plant's voice and Page's guitar sing a duo together.
Huge difference between sampling and doing a cover. None of Zep's covers sound remotely like the originals, and Zeppelin plays all the instruments. Page makes them all his own, as Hendrix did with Dylan's All Along the Watchtower. In terms of the instruments here, the first solo is JPJ on the organ, the second is Plant on harmonica, and the third is Page on his Telecaster through a small Supro amp.
Something to keep in mind here. At the time of this recording, Robert Plant and John Bonham were only nineteen freaking years old. Plant was already that good on harmonica, and that ballsy and developed as a singer, at only nineteen. Bonham was already the most influential monster in the history of rock drumming. Unreal.
Well, I hear a lot of rap listeners talk about sampling, etc, they're simply not used to actual musicians, singers, lyrics, drummers (no drum machines), solid bass, and guitarists, as opposed to pushing buttons in a studio with auto tune, and other garbage....it's funny sometimes 😄
It goes from John Paul Jones playing the organ to Robert Plant playing the harmonica to Jimmy Page playing guitar. After Robert Plants says "All Right' at the end of the harmonica part, the next sound is Jimmy Page coming in on guitar. I don't know how you can't tell the difference between the sounds.
The harmonica blends rather seamlessly into the guitar, that's why.
When I was a brand new LZ fan as a young kid, I also had a bit of a hard time figuring out exactly when the guitar came in.
It only gets better...
Such a great track. Love Planty on harmonica and the growl in the voice and instruments gets you in the feels…perfection 👌
Couldn't agree more! Plants voice is on another level in th eearly years
I love watching people discover the greatest Rock and Blues band ever!! I really love that you're working your way through their discography. I'm coming along for the ride!!!
Zeppelin, blues on steroids! Greatest band ever in my opinion. Love your reactions.
haa Bryan my man, I cant argue with that!
It WAS a harmonica, and then it WAS a guitar. Plant and Page respectively.
Greetings from Canada. You're doing a fine job appreciating Zep... it's a joy to see you enjoy. This was the Blues Rock version of the Blues staple- Call and Response. My suggestion would be now try Funk Rock-Trampled Under Foot, Live Earls Court, 1975. A lotta fun, man. Peace, love and bellbottoms.
This was Led Zeppelin introducing themselves to the world as 4 musicians. Bonham keeping the beat Page with his incredible playing and innovative riffs, Jones, playing multiple instruments, bass, organ and others, and Plant using his voice as an instrument to match along with playing the harmonica. Listen to it again they blended the Organ into the Harmonica and then into Jimmy’s guitar seamlessly
IMO, perhaps you seemed to come into Rock reactions “swinging” with the sample tracks statement? It’s one thing to put together a cool thing with LEGO’S, it’s a whole other thing to invent them. 😉
Great reaction and song choice!
I noticed you edited your opening. During the middle, they transitioned from organ, to harmonica, to guitar with a bit of drum thunder at the end. Each had a part to play and the ability to mesh their individual talents with each other regardless of instrument is the alchemy that Led Zeppelin was about. Their musicality, feel, rhythm, groove, timing, etc. were second to none.
I also noticed you removed the "SyedBhai loves your comment". Interesting.
spot on, you nailed it...you recognized not only the call and response but how the caller and responder often changed places...Brilliant react !
The lyrics about birds is from a very old song Corrina Corrina which was popular in the 50's but probably much older. "I've got a bird that whistles I've got a bird that sings but I ain't got Corrina life don't mean a thing" They may take from old songs but what they make from them is always on an EPIC level!!
Nothing like Led Zeppelin blues. Thank you ❣☮
That A note that Jimmy hits at the end of the call and response might be the heaviest note every played lol. I'm talking black hole density heavy!
There is alot of Zeppelin out there, but one stands out in need of your interpretive gift. "In My Time Of Dying"
Its a beast,,,
It was a harmonica which transitions into guitar👍👍👍
What a awesome choice, they blend so well together
@@SyedRewinds they certainly do ….absolutely love your in depth reaction style can’t wait to see your mind blown by Zeppelin’s utterly diverse body of work I’m with you for the long haul😎
one of my favorite songs from their first album
It was a harmonica but they very subtly transitioned to guitar. Just amazing. I have to say that I think Robert Plant still manages to use his voice really really well considering his post 70 age. His recent performances with Allison Krauss demonstrate that. Certainly over time he lost some range but he found other ways to make up for it. He was the only Zepplin member to be very successful as a solo artist and he keeps creating really interesting music, using his voice skillfully. And he still sounds sexy, which is amazing.
JPJ is still having a successful solo career!
@@Happyheretic2308 Yes I saw the recent TH-cam video he put out. Just excellent. Just not as much "popular" notice as RP.
I think his voice is much more resonant now. It’s richer and perfect for his age. I agree with you Raising Sand is a great album
I remember the first time I heard Led Zeppelin…magic!
I was born in the 60s West Coast Bay Area and YOU, my friend, are TAPPING into that Vibe. Magical Time !
Loving your channel so much! Been binge watching all your videos. I think you would love Since I’ve Been Loving You by Led Zeppelin and would kill to see your analysis of it!
Thanks so much mate, glad you're enjoying them. I am slowly making my way through their discography so I should get there eventually
I would bet you that people will still be marvelling at Led Zeppelin's alchemical music in 2073! You don't miss a trick matey and your reactions really do justice to this great music 🐐💜🎶
I read somewhere that drummers normally follow bass players but in LZ Bonham was instructed by Page to follow him. Bonham may have been reluctant to do that at first as their manager Peter Grant told him to do what Page said or get out of the band (though he said it in ruder terms). This must have been early days. Page and Bonham seemed to get on well after that. Led Zeppelin liked to get creative in their music which is one reason why they weren't keen to make singles records.
I bought this album in early 1970 and took it into my grammar school's 6th form common room - we played it for weeks on end along with all the other good shit that was around at that time (Cream, Hendrix, Santana, etc.) kids today don't know what they're missing.
They sound just as good live.
They were the best blues band ever.. the best of everything ..
I just love the way you break down the songs ❤ from Led Zeppelin ❤
Awesome Album 💿
Brilliant Song 🎧
They can play anything they want, remarkable musicians...
A blues classic by the great Willie Dixon. The British bands worshipped the old blues masters- they brought them back to us in a way.
Cheers gent Great reaction Keep it coming TY
Thank you! Will do!
You actually know what you're talking about unlike other reaction videos I have watched.
You're reacting to Led Zep and zooming in and paying close attention to detail, then commenting on all these things... And not just, "Ooh! Ahh!". You have a lot of substance here!
SUBBED! 😎👍
Just checked this out I enjoyed your reaction. Zeppelin is the most versatile band ever. I would love to hear and see your opinion of Morissette Amon the most versatile singer today from Philippines.
Great job!!! JPJs to the bass and organ what Jimmy Page is to the guitar- he was one of the top bass session players in the same time frame as Page and he's a badass!
Another really fun reaction to an incredible song. And yeah that was a harp with an echo and then it kind of got overlapped and transitioned into a guitar with an echo. And did you notice that just about all of the solo work mimicked not only each other, but also a bird both whistling and then sometimes singing? Amazing. But I've heard you say this in at least four different reactions now, just keep in mind there are a lot of us out there, and believe me I'm an adequate singer but I've been able to record with incredibly gifted singers both in the studio and live and from my viewpoint, his voice and singing ability just got better and better every year. Of course it all ended too soon but you have to consider that his voice may have been changing just slightly like he may have lost like a half of a step or maybe a whole step Max over several years from the top of his range and that's it. What was changing more importantly was what he was choosing to do. It just got better and better and better. Check out the character that it has that's a bit more mature and a lot richer and in my view much better, even though I did not think so and I was young, but now I've felt this way for years, that last album, in through the outdoor, I kind of downplayed it when I was really young, cuz I thought it was just not quite as hard rocking. But now that I've had a long time and a lot more experience, it is a total masterpiece. Every level it's a masterpiece. But he's singing is definitely a part of that for sure.
Harmonica is matching guitar perfectly
The great John Paul Jones on organ. Bye the way you have a nice solid voice for this kind of thing.
haha thanks Donna! Never would have thought that I did, but a couple ppl have mentioned it now lol
I am so glad you are discovering Led Zeppelin and it is very gratifying that you appreciate their music so much . I am hoping you will continue . Have you done Houses of the Holy ?
Plant plays the harmomica, apparently. I googled it and that's what came up. I thought maybe they'd brought Paul Butterfield of the Butterfield Blues Band. You must listen to them. They did an incredible 11 minute jam entitled "East-West" in 1966, from the album of the same name. Legendary, and seminal.
Achilles last stand live!
Yup! they sound just as good live!
The instrumental part of this legendary band Led Zeppelin!!! Man, you can't help but listen and be completely blown away by the extrodenary talent of the Greatest Rock Band in the History of Rock and Roll. Then you have the haunting, powerful voice of the great Robert Plant, the Golden God ✨️ They worked so well together ❤️ They had the cream of the crop, the best of the best!!! Totally sexy and completely mesmerizing!!!
Love this reaction. One section was Plant on harmonica and the other is Page on guitar. Check out Since I’ve been loving you, live at Madison Square Garden
Great track.
Love your reviews.
Was watching to see your reaction to the organ and you did not disappoint.
the harmonica sort of slides into the guitar solo- Jimmy the Wizard- you would enjoy a show they did on Denmark TV
Yes Jimmy was "the Wizzard" and the violin bow was his wand
One of my favorites from LZ
Robert is great on the Harmonica, then Jimmy comes in with the guitar solo, after of course, JP jones rips the keys first. All 3 took turns soloing.
I have to wonder why Plant abandoned the harmonica in later albums?
He didn't really. He just didn't use it as often. He wails on the harmonica during 'Nobody's Fault But Mine' from the 1976 'Presence' album.
It’s harmonica and guitar going at it amongst other sounds man. Plant is the harmonica king.
That sound was Jimmy's Gibson with a slide strapped on it ,.the tuning & sound Jimmy could produce from his gats is serious art in itself he was best hands down .
They are the GOAT!
First solo, organ
Second solo Harmonica
Third- guitar
Im really enjoying your reactions!! It is so great to see someone who delves in to the song, musicianship and lyrics...I've heard this song a gazillion times and it just dawned on me that the little birds are probably his lady friends...(wink, wink) even after all these years, I am stil learning about music! I know peeps are probably throwing all sorts of suggestions at you, but if you have not done Tobacco Road , Live -by Jonathan and Edward Winters...it is a MUST SEE. similar vibe, oozes talent!!
I never really liked Led Zep when I was young but now I,m older and a bit wiser i realised they are the greatest band that ever graced this earth
Hi D., When l was young, they were one of my faves, but as time went by, l realized how great they truly are..saw them in '73, after that, there was no doubt...like you, they're like a fine wine, the more you listen to them, the better they get... astounding! Best regards to you...
@@johnwdaley4727 thank you. I regret never seeing them live. But thanks to you tube I have seen some jawdroppin live performances
You know how many babies were made cuz of this song? Lots.
this track significantly affected the birth-rate of the world lol
Many interviews from the band say that John Paul Jones and John Bonham play off each other more than the others. You will also see Page and plant play off each other. You will see this clearly when you watch live performances. Do yourself a huge favor and watch the entire 1973 MSG concert then later watch the entire O2 Arena concert from 2017. Also, keep in mind that in 20q7 concert, they had not played together for about 30 years.
There was a harmonica solo, but then a double tracked Page solo on a Tele with tons of echo and a wah pedal cocked in treble position to make that really sharp tone. Page uses the wah pedal a lot - not just to make a “wah wah” sound - but also to affect the tone
Tightest band ever and by a long shot.
So tight, they broke through and were the loosest!
Led Zeppelin, best band ever! Page was a genius.
"Awesome"
By far my favorite LZ song
Bluesy sensuality
Blues!
There’s synchronicity between Page & Plant you’re overlooking, that’s how blues should be sung, with depth & palpable emotion! That’s why they’re called the blues, but today maybe micro aggressions 😂 that’s my story & I’m sticking to it!
Plus Page and Plant playing together with each other.
That was not a harmonica during the guitar solo. That was Jimmy Page belting out one of the greatest guitar solos ever recorded in the studio. Also I wanted to recommend the entire 26 minutes of Dazed and Confused from the Madison Square Garden concert. Must be viewed in it's entirety to catch the explosive guitar soloing towards the end. Prepare to be mind blown ! Hope you review it.
Agree. This guitar solo gets overlooked quite a lot.
Its one of my favorite solos by Page.
Ditto on Dazed and Confused. All 28 minutes of it please!!
Remember this was Decades and decades ago. Pages solo was light years ahead of it's time, and
He turned the stereo soundstage into outer space, with countless swirling stars of the galaxy.
Nobody has ever touched this. Even himself. He just put it up on the shelf and went other places with his guitar.
Look for White Boy Blues. Page, Clapton and Beck all blues guitar. Amazing
It is criminal!
U could also see them do it live at the brat club 1969 trust me
The blues were made for Zeppelin, and Zeppelin for the blues.
Organ solo (Paul-Jones)➡️harmonica solo (Plant)➡️guitar solo (Page)
You definitely need to react to "Bring it on Home"
Who else gives you three virtuoso solo instrumentals in one song - Hammond organ, harmonica and guitar
Oh we birds certainly noticed Plant to be sure. Plant is the one on the harmonica.
Nah...a lot of us birds preferred Jimmy.
@@MJEvermore853 To each his own I guess. Jimmy certainly wasn't hard on the eyes, and I recall JP Jones was rather dishy
Led Zeppelin the greatest rock band ever. After all the music of the sixties we listened to. When Zeppelin released that first album music was never the same. Anybody that can play a guitar with a violin bow. Jimmy page is the goat
Those JPJ keys! They were also fearless. Robert Plant especially, they were just kids in their young 20s, right?
I'd like to suggest a song by The Stones called Stray Cat Blues. Its the Stones at their grittiest. Also Monkey Man is pretty cool.
added to the list Jim, thanks!
Robert Plant plays the Harmonica
Just listen and enjoy. Doesn't matter who wrote it.
As you’re now doing all Zep’s tracks in order, what happens when you get to ones you’ve already done (before you started them chronologically)? Are you going to do them again (for example No Quarter) or miss them out?
What up Carl! Yh I'll probably skip them out unless people think its important to keep them in still
You should check out My Life in the Bush of Ghosts. It is a studio album by Brian Eno and David Byrne, released in February 1981. One of the first examples of sampling.
Birds is British slang for babes.
It's quite funny your comment about metal music and preconceptions was my experience with rap till I started watching reaction videos admittedly it was Eminem but can't argue with his lyrical brilliance and melodic brilliance.
Plant played the harmonica on this track
Just like the organ solo went to harmonica the harmonica solo wet to a guitar solo. Trust your ears you heard it right.
